Sounds like fear mongering to keep ownership out of the majority black players hands
Notice Of Separation: The 2023 NBA Free agency/Off-Season Thread

If they don’t have the right people managing this it’s a wrap… shyt sounds like a legit new way money grab from players… before it was one or two mofos with some investing opportunity a player would dive head first into and end up losing damn near all their money with no recourse..
I’m telling CJ McCollum a snake ass nikka you can see it in his face.. I would legit put hands on that bum ass nikka
Easy.. if he couldn’t play with Steph of all people he don’t need to be on anyone’s market..
Donte came in played above his level with Steph and now he got a bag..

Sounds like they have startup accelerators to help players navigate startup creation.
Hopefully these brothas help get other Black people get in the room and come up.

No shyt, that’s why homers ain’t to be listened to. Y’all think being a homer and watching every game gives you more credence. It doesn’t. It actually may be the opposite. You’re too close to it, too emotional, and can’t be trusted to make objective analysis. Something you literally just admitted. ‘We wanted to make it work’. Hence Quickley has become a Gary Payton Steph curry mashup over the last 10 pages
And as far as Obi….
Teams were interested in Obi Toppin, but the Knicks’ asking price was "significant"
Completely unknown how much they like and value Toppin at this point.

No I'm not and no I didn't lol. "We wanted an ATTEMPT at making an investment work" is very different from "We wanted to make it work", because we don't know if an investment is worth anything if you don't put it to use, which we never did. You didn't post a stat or cogent argument either, just some "I said" shyt lmao. You make a claim, back that shyt up let the facts speak for themselves. No one said he's a Gary Payton and Steph Curry mash up either, comprehension and your interpretation skills are fukking you up rn. I said "THIS BOARD" specifically too, because I'm sure there's a looney in every fan base that has some insane opinion that we all can't account for. I'm sure there's a nikka who thought John Starks could go bucket for bucket with Michael Jordan too, it doesn't mean he represents every Knicks fan. It's just that nowadays every a$$hole has access to a platform with millions of potential consumers so we gotta see the dumb shyt on our timelines.
Post some stats, show me how Gabe Vincent, Immanuel Quickley, and Dennis Schroder were comparable players last year. Don't cherry pick eithe, give me substantial sample sizes.

Celtics gave the Nets an aging Paul Pierce and KG, why do you hate them?
By the way thanks for Jayson and Jaylen
That’s the beauty (ugly) of this league my guy: by the time you make an “attempt” at making it work that player can be exposed and/or his value drops significantly. You have finite windows to capitalize on a players (perceived) value. Tyreese Haliburton coulda been had for Ben simmons. Thybuille was “untouchable”. Knicks coulda got value for Toppin. Those windows closed.
Say less! I hate cherry picking and small sample sizes too so let’s go careers stats!
IQ: 13, 3, 3 on 41/36
Schröder: 14, 5, 3 on 43/33
Seems pretty comparable to me
but idk it’s only 7 years of data. Might need that fan eye test to verify

nikka saw those stats from last season and realized his argument was absurd so he pulled the career statsThat’s the beauty (ugly) of this league my guy: by the time you make an “attempt” at making it work that player can be exposed and/or his value drops significantly.

What we doin you tell me
You know damn well I meant a substantial sample size from last season because you were talking about who could replace IQ right NOW lmao. I was trying to stop you from giving me some random two week sample to back you up and you went in the opposite direction man fukk you lmaoooooo At least you dropped Gabe from the convo

If you’re so concerned about sample size why are you ignoring the previous 2 years when IQ shot under 40%
Also, I’m not ignoring gabe Vincent. maybe I’m giving you too much credit that you understood this point without me saying it: whether IQ is “better” than Gabe isn’t the only concern, it’s about value. Gabe on a 3/33 >>>>> giving IQ the bag to come off the bench
